Originally a PRESS SAMPLE / *Paid For
First, a little bit of info on this charity polish! You Matter was created by Red Eyed Lacquer in honor of Black Lives Matter.
I wanted to directly quote Red Eyed Lacquer:
“You Matter is a polish I created in honor of Black Lives Matter. I know it’s not much, but I wanted to show my support and that I support equal rights and humanity.
REL
It will be $11 and $5 of every bottle sold will be donated to Black Lives Matter – www.blacklivesmatter.com. I will also include a link in the listing in the shop if others would like to donate directly as well.”
I also want to mention that I was sent this polish for free as a PR Sample, but I have since sent Red Eyed Lacquer the $11.00 for the polish simply because it is a charity polish and I wanted to contribute and pay for it while still swatching it. So this may no longer be a Press Sample. My review will still be honest of course. I just wanted to be clear about the “*Paid For” up above.

You Matter
Price: $11.00 USD
$5.00 USD of every bottle sold will be donated to Black Lives Matter – www.blacklivesmatter.com
Description: A black base polish with a blurple shimmer and a blue/gold/green/teal shift
Release: Thursday June 25th at 8:00AM PT / 9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00AM ET
This is also the same release time as the REL neon collection
My swatches below are 3 coats of polish over a peel off base coat and topped with a quick dry top coat. I also used Red Eyed Lacquer’s Tips Matte-r Matte Top Coat for the matte photos.
This polish applies very easily and goes on very smooth. I honestly might have gone a little bit overboard with the photos (especially of the bottle itself) but I wanted you to be able to see every possible shift in this polish!
I will say that quite a bit of the shift is just visible at any time which is awesome. I think the green to gold shift is the most prominent in just normal indoor lighting, but add some sunlight and oh boy there is the teal and purple. It is really easy to simply spin the bottle of polish and see quite a few colors (hence the too many photos 😉 ).
The following shots are under direct light to show off the shimmer!
Honestly a few of these may look exactly the same, but just in case, I included them all!
The following photos are You Matter topped with a matte top coat!
I am very happy to have been asked to join Red Eyed Lacquer’s swatch team and I hope you look forward to seeing even more awesome-ness from this brand. 🙂
